European football governing body, UEFA has proposed August 26 and 29 for the Gdansk Europa League final and the Istanbul Champions League final ahead of April 23rd meeting.

Global sporting activities have suffered a set back since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, European football governing body is working on plans to see out the 2019-20 season.

UEFA will be meeting on Thursday the 23rd of April to discuss how the 2019-20 season can be concluded. It is likely one decision will be to agree that leagues could finish early, although only with Uefa's approval.

Its plans for the two European competitions will depend on how soon domestic leagues across the continent can resume. If they are up and running sometime in the next couple of months, then UEFA could decide to play them alongside the league action as they do in normal circumstances.

UEFA is considering two options, one of which is to hold the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals across two legs in July and August; While the second option is to play the remaining Champions League ties as one-off fixtures after the end of the domestic seasons and could see the remainder of the competition played out over the course of a week. Both options would be discussed at UEFA's Executive Committee meeting next Thursday, the report added.

Four of the eight Champions League quarter-finalists are already known, with Manchester City's high-profile encounter with Real Madrid one of the ties still to be concluded. In the Europa League, scheduling is more complicated because all eight last-16 second-leg ties are still to be played, with two matches, involving Spanish and Italian teams, yet to play the first legs.
